1. e3 |
I was White in this game. 1.e3 is not a common opening move, but it is very flexible and solid. | ||||

1... d5 2. d3 |
My opening is considered unorthodox because I have blocked both bishops, but I want to develop my bishops to d2 and e2. A lot of people say that it is a passive setup, but I don't think playing agressive in the opening is necessary, unless your opponent makes a mistake. | ||||

2... Nf6 3. Nf3 Bg4 |
I don't think this is a good square for the bishop, because after Be2 the bishop is useless there and is subject to harassment by h3 later | ||||

4. Be2 e6 |
Black is initiating a Torre setup, where Black has ideas of pushing the queenside pawns for a queenside attack, or Black can make the maneuvers c5, Nc6 Bd6 Bb8 Qd6 with a kingside attack in mind along the b8-h2 diagonal. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5. Bd2 |
I calmly continue development without thinking about attacking. I don't have any weaknesses, so I should be fine | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Bd6 6. Nc3 c5 7. a4 |
I'm not sure if this move was necessary. I wanted to stop a future b5, and this was also a waiting move to see if Black would castle into my attack | ||||

7... O-O |
Black has castled kingside, which I think is a mistake because I can push my kingside pawns with tempo | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. h3 Bh5 |
Black's other option is giving up the bishop pair to stall the advancing of my kingside pawns, but both continuations look bad for Black | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. g4 Bg6 10. g5 Nfd7 |
Nh5 would place the knight on the dangerous diagonal where my queen and bishop are aimed | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. h4 f6 |
Black wants to get the bishop to a safe square, while also challenging my pawnstorm, but I think this is a mistake because it allows a pawn sacrifice | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. h5 Bf7 13. g6 hxg6 14. hxg6 Bxg6 |
For compensation for the pawn, I have open files toward Black's king, and I can take advantage of Black's weak g6-square | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Nh4 Bh7 |
No better is Bf7 Bh5 because Black cannot take the bishop since after Qxh5 I have the dangerous threat of Ng6, similar to what happened in the game | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Bh5 |
My pieces have nice control of the light squares, and my missing pawn doesn't have any significance at the moment since there are still lots of pieces on the board | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Ne5 |
g5 is interesting, but I think I can just play Ng6 and then f4 later and exploit my open g-file. Black's knight move doesn't really do much to help defend. | ||||

17. f4 Nf7 18. Qg4 Re8 |
Qd7 might have been a better way of defending the pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Bg6 |
I'm clearing way for my queen to come to h5 to continue the attack on the weak light squares, and I'm threatening Bxh7 Kxh7 Nf5 followed by Qxg7# | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... Bxg6 20. Nxg6 |
I'm intending to play Qh5, so Black should move the knight and play Kf7 to stop mates along the h-file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
20... Bc7 |
I thought Black would play Nh6, but after Qh5 the play is similar to my continuation of the game. I plan to castle queenside and bring my other rook to the g-file. | ||||

21. Qh5 |
Threatening Qh7# | ||||
| | |||||
|
21... Nd6 22. O-O-O |
I don't think Qh7 now is necessary. I'll just get my rook active on the g-file and continue the attack from there | ||||
